About

Elected: 2010 (3rd term)

  • Background: Former North Dakota governor
  • Committees: Appropriations, Agriculture, Energy and Natural Resources, Indian Affairs
  • State: Small Ukrainian community; rural grain economy and LNG ambitions give direct stake in Russia sanctions

Bio John Hoeven voted for earlier Ukraine aid. His North Dakota colleague Kevin Cramer is a member of the Senate Ukraine Caucus, which creates an opportunity for joint state pressure.

Ukraine Record

  • Voted YES on earlier Ukraine aid packages
  • Not currently signed onto UAPortal bills

Advocacy Insight

  • Ask them to: Sign onto the SHADOW Fleet Sanctions (S. 2904), which targets Russia's oil tanker network used to evade sanctions, and partner with Senator Cramer on a North Dakota Ukraine package.
  • Why it works with them: North Dakota wheat, soybean, and canola markets are hurt by Russian grain dumping. The LNG Potential Act (H.R. 1949) also fits North Dakota's energy export ambitions.
  • Your connection: Mention North Dakota farmers hurt by Russia and the state's energy export potential.
  • Avoid: Vague asks. Use the Cramer connection to make it a team play.

Without this bill, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who fled the war and built lives in the U.S. face deportation back to an active war zone. This is the single most urgent protection for Ukrainians in America.

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], a constituent from [YOUR CITY/ZIP].

I'm calling to urge Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] to cosponsor H.R. 3104, the Ukrainian Adjustment Act of 2025.

Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fled Russia's invasion and are now living in the U.S. on temporary status. They cannot safely return to an active war zone. H.R. 3104 gives them a path to permanent residency. It's bipartisan, it's targeted, and it's the right thing to do.

Will Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] cosponsor H.R. 3104?

Thank you.
